connect timeout

[bob smith]

Is there any way to specify the connection timeout for a java.net.Socket?

I might want something like this to throw a ConnectException within 10 seconds:

Socket socket = new Socket(ip_address, 80);

Thanks.

HTH.

The two-lines-of-code approach doesn't require an exogenous declaration of
the property, which is an advantage if you don't want to rely on the correct
invocation of the program and a disadvantage if you want the same code to
handle different configurations.

Thanks.

BTW, do you know what that means that the default is -1?

sun.net.client.defaultConnectTimeout (default: -1)
sun.net.client.defaultReadTimeout (default: -1)

I assume -1 means not set.

I assume -1 means not set.

This would comport with how -1 is used elsewhere in the cited document
to mean "forever," perhaps in the sense of "no specified timeout."
